"the hemisphere for several days had been greatly obscured with smoke and vapour, so that the sun and moon appeared unusually red." Again on May 19 the rising sun was red in color, but before long the clouds thickened and blotted out the crimson disk. "Between 8 and 9 o'clock," …. "Some of the company were confident a chimney in the neighbourhood must be burning; others conjectured the smell was more like that of burnt leaves." By half past four o'clock, the group ("which had past [sic] an unexpected night very chearfully together") broke up and went their separate ways. …. "Among other things which gave them surprise,"  was the "strange appearance and smell of the rain-water which they had saved in tubs." The tavern crowd led him 'round back to see for himself: "Upon examining the water, I found a light scum over it, which rubing [sic] between my thumb and finger, I found to be nothing but black ashes and burnt leaves. The water gave the same strong sooty smell we had observed in the air, and confirmed me in my opinion, that the smell ... was occasioned by the smoke, or very small particles of burnt leaves, which had obscured the hemisphere for several days past, and were now brought down by the rain." Viator now had enough evidence to float a theory: "The vast body of smoke from the woods which had been burning for many days, mixing with the common exhalations from the earth and water, and condensed by the action of winds from opposite points, may perhaps be sufficient causes to produce the surprising darkness."

Kan historian lar C.Mervin Maxwell-a erawh chu a tawng huai deuh hret. A lehkhabu pahnihna God Cares "Revelation" p 196-198 ah chiang takin a lang: The Olivet Discourse Jesus said, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days [the 1260 year-days] the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light." Matthew 24:29. Catholic persecution virtually ceased in Europe in the middle of the eighteen century. The last "heretic" to be martyred in France, a Reformed pastor, died in 1762. Pope Clement XlV personally outlawed the Jesuits (the Society of Jesus) in 1773.

So the timing of the May 19, 1780, event was right. And the people reflected on it, for the place was right. New England was a center of Bible study, noticeably so even in comparison with the other newly independent American states. "Engvangin nge New England ah kher kher?
